Insulate Stone Basement Walls & Rim Joists in North Grosvenordale, CT

This North Grosvenordale, CT homeowner reached out to Fogarty's Home Services because her pipes had frozen several times. She wanted to resolve this issue so it didn't happen again, and we were happy to help. Besides allowing heat to flow out by conduction, this homeowner's stone walls were letting outside air to leak in, since the home has lower air pressure at the bottom and sucks air in. The sill plate and rim joist above the stone wall were leaking air as well. To fix this very uncomfortable situation, Fogarty's Home Services sprayed the walls, sill plate, and rim joists two-part, expanding, closed cell, polyurethane foam insulation, about 1.5" thick. Because this basement isn't finished, the foam was covered with a white thermal coating. Our customer will notice a DRAMATIC difference in the temperature and comfort of her basement, the floors above it, and her home in general. The results are a much warmer basement, far less drafts, much warmer floors above the basement, a more comfortable home that is easier to heat, and lower energy bills. We Fix Uncomfortable Homes!
